Welcome to the wiki for our 6th-Grade Language Arts class. This is where I will share our lessons as they develop. Please keep in mind that teaching and learning are ongoing and adaptive enterprises, so this wiki will change over time to reflect how lessons actually evolve. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me!
Note: A new page has been added to this wiki for those parents who are interested in learning more about the Student Learning Teams. I have also tidied up this wiki and reorganized the pages into Fall Semester and Spring Semester.
Independent Reading: For the first semester, recommend 20-30 minutes per night when other homework is not assigned; 90 minutes per week total; for the second semester, the total goes up to 120 minutes per week, or two hours.
